The basic Better Homes and Gardens cookbook rocks because it has a part of every section devoted to basic basics. The meat section shows you all the cuts and along with the cut it says which cooking methods to use, given that some cuts of meat need to be braised because they're tough. The cookbook also explains the different cooking methods you can use. If you don't have a BHG cookbook, go get one--it's an invaluable resource for both the experienced and beginner cook (my family always buys one for people moving into their own place).
Oh, and Alton sells cookbooks too, you know.
